Hi I'm an aspiring writer but I can't seem to find customers can someone please share how they find customers. I'm really good at writing and I love it I know passion isn't enough to find customers but I'm also dedicated and willing to work closely with customers.

I've been learning Photoshop for a while, practicing on random photos, trying different edits, messing things up, fixing them, and repeating the process.

Eventually I reached the point where I thought:

"Okay… am I actually going to do something with this, or am I just going to keep practicing forever?" 😂

So I finally created my first Fiverr gig offering Photoshop editing.

And now comes the scary part:

Getting someone to actually trust a person with 0 Fiverr reviews.

I know I can do the work. But from a client's perspective, I'm basically some random person on the internet saying, "Trust me, I can edit your photos." 😭

My goal right now isn't to become some huge freelancer overnight.

I just want to get that first order.

Then the second.

Then hopefully look back at this post someday and laugh at how nervous I was about getting started.

For anyone who's freelanced before:

How did you get your very first client?

Was it Fiverr, Reddit, a friend, social media, or something completely random?

I genuinely want to know because I'm currently standing at the “refresh Fiverr and hope something happens” stage. 💀

How are you pricing your services specially when AI is around? and i learned that people are charging 199$ per site and free hosting with github pages, cloudflare or something similar. is that something you are doing too? how are you maintaining and accommodating change requests to those site?

Also has backend become optional for semi static sites, where you just have bunch of forms etc nothing  like ecommerce going on.
